Maybeboard


My second attempt at the life gain deck, this time with a few edits and improvements to the basic idea

Updates Add

There have been a couple of minor edits I've been meaning to update for a while:

-1 Ad Nauseam : +1 Rhystic Study
-1 Angel's Grace : +1 Damnation
-1 Sickening Dreams : +1 Torment of Hailfire

While the Ad Nauseam combo is very powerful, and can potentially be game winning, I have never pulled it off, and have in fact died because of it. More then once, I have lost control of my turn and been killed by my own Ad Nauseam being cast without any of the support. for this reason, the combo is being removed.

I decided that to replace it, I would add my tenth board wipe in the form of damnation. Granted, ten may seem a lot, but it does allow me to deal with faster decks or annoying hexproof creatures a lot more reliably. Torment of Hailfire can also fill this role to an extent, but it also serves to hate on hand and life, having already won me a game thanks to X=18, which I doubt that will happen again anytime soon.

I decided to add Rhystic study for the addition draw power and disruption it can cause. Having to face a deck known as Grixis Hate, as well as someone who casts Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur regularly, I have discovered that there is no such thing as too much card draw in other people's turns.
